Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA) Library

To help practitioners find high-quality research to support RESEA program development and improvement, CLEAR has catalogued RESEA studies and assigned evidence ratings to indicate RESEA intervention effectiveness.

Here you can find which interventions have received high or moderate ratings, based on findings from rigorous causal impact studies. You can also delve into summaries of individual studies of interventions that you are interested in, to learn details such as the design of those interventions, the contexts where interventions were studied, the outcomes that were examined, and the sizes of impacts that were found. Those details can help you apply evidence to decisions regarding your own programs.

Latest Findings

Adding subsequent RESEA meetings appears to increase program impact, with indications that assistance provided and the requirement to attend are contributors to impacts.
